Surgery Tomorrow!

mrshokulani · June 13, 2017

TMI. But I'm on liquids today. Did anyone else experience very loose bowels? It's only 9:30am and I've been to the bathroom 3 times. Not a good day to go to the beach I must say.

Blessings,

Ashley

I start my 2 week liquid diet on the 22nd. We'll see how it goes.

Hey, I am one week out Post Op, and the pre Op diet seems such a long time ago. I was on solids for one main meal and liquids for others. My Poo was weird, and irregular. However, wait until after the surgery, the poop was very weird for me, it went from really Dark, with what looked like small bits of seaweed and then to an orangey type mush. Don't worry though its all about your system flushing out the fat etc. Hang in there.

So how do you feel Paul? How are you doing with the diet? Are you craving foods? Please share.

Hey Texusa. Thanks for asking.

I feel Awesome. I had the Op in the Frisco Medical Center at 7.45 am Last Tuesday. The staff there were awesome and looked after me so well. I knew I had to walk and pee and then I could go home. as soon as I woke up in the room, I was like, get me up I am gonna walk an pee (but not together as that was a health hazard). I was out the hospital and walking round Target at 12.30. The Wednesday I was really woozy, and slept most of the day. On the Thursday and Friday I could start feeling better and now I am over a week I feel fine and love the liquids and don't feel hungry at all. I have people eating in front of me at work and at home and even though I love the smell, I don't feel hungry. Its so strange, but exciting. I started my pre op diet 2 weeks out and lost 12lbs. I have lost another 10 lbs since the operation and yesterday gained 0.8lbs and today lost 0.6lbs, however its all going the right way and I should learn not to be a slave to the scales. I have energy back and I feel amazing. Its the best decision I have ever made. I can't wait to see myself in 6 months time.

Hope that helps. any other questions, just ask away.
